It looks wank. Just because you want to go for that NES feel doesn't mean you have to limit the amount of sprites, within 15 minutes you're fighting color ways of the same enemy. It doesn't mean you can't make more logical hitboxes.
If you said it was a student reskin I'd say it was good but that's about it.
They've definitely acted with the kind of restraint you'd get from a company too scared to be bold with a new property. I mean, they crowdfunded River City Ransom Underground. They're short on consumer confidence so they either look to see if it's there with kickstarter or play things super safe like DD IV.
I can't blame them. You can't put a Double Dragon out now and not divide the fans.
Since my PC is absolutely FUCKED and refusing to play any game for longer than 45 seconds except Hyper Light Drifter, I've been playing some... Hyper Light Drifter.
I thought this game was absolutely incomprehensible wank until I realised you could go to more than one place. I'd been stuck on the 'West' section for months. Only to find out that I could have done other sections. I knocked both those out within a day or two so now I'm just looking up a FAQ on how to get through West.
It's a great game held back by it refusing to tell you anything and thinking that running against walls to find gaps is a fun game mechanic.
Speaking of reviews, here's Polygon throwing in the towel on Nioh because they're not good at it.
Fair enough really, how much more was anyone expecting than 'It's fucking hard, fill your boots if you're that kind of a masochist'
If anything, it's put some of my mind at ease. I wondered how much of Nioh there actually was. As for the difficulty, I've only got a last demo to go off which felt pretty tough until you get the loot you need to feel comfortable. A review is forthcoming from them, just not yet.
I completed this on Sunday, quite enjoyed playing it again.Originally Posted by Weaver
I had bought Tomb Raider II quite a while ago, so I downloaded it last night and I'm on Level 2.
Do you not find it tough to go back? I've got II on the PSOne and it feels like something I just can't grasp.
Nioh is bloody ouch. I like the feeling of getting stronger loot as the level progresses but the first boss is a bit death by a thousand cuts.
I should be getting it next week, was a bit skint this week. Cannot fucking wait.
Aside from that, I'm absolutely hammering Borderlands 2 yet again right now. Got its hooks right in.
Nioh has some unexpected comparisons to draw with Borderlands 2.
The loot and their equivalent of Bad Ass rank, I've heard.
Yup although I'm dismayed at how bad I am at the bosses. I just want to punish every chance they give me. The difficulty of the levels themselves hasn't been bad.
I'm having to return my xbox as it turns itself off all the time. Useless.
Get a PS4
Hi all, Does anyone have the commentary files for CM03/04, i have them in Swedish I think. Be nice to see it in English.

None near me
Isn't that game bobbins though?
Most of the negative remarks are based on the short story (about 7 hours) and lack of replay value.
I'm alright with that for £10.
Another boss down in Nioh. I still feel like the bosses are where the game's difficulty tends to lie although, if you're ranged and patient, you take them down quickly. I am aggressive. My fights are tense. I appreciate Ninja Gaiden's combat but this is a game of Team Ninja's I actually want to finish.
Anyone??
What do you mean by commentary files and If you have the game why haven't you got them?

Didnt try the link though.
I don't even understand the question.
.
The version of the game I found had the commentary file in swedish i think it was. #
Found another version of the game and its in english, everyone stand down. Thank you.
I really should update my list, a lot has changed. I now have a laptop that can actually run games. So my Steam list got a little bigger.
I am, however, working on an oldie that has been on my list for a while now, Psychonauts. I'm nearly 10 hours in and I'm loving it. The game is a slow starter, but once the story sets off, it's a blast. The characters and the mental worlds are really well done, with Boyd and his Milkman Conspiracy as a highlight so far.
Fucking milkmen.
Yeah I need to give Psychonauts another crack.
Why is there no thread about Horizon? Just look at this shit:

God, I love Psychonauts so much. One of my all-time top five.
Might be due a replay.
Yeah, I'm going to be bang into this. Looks great.
Review here: https://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/201...o-dawn-review/
I've got too much on my plate to go for that. A blessing in disguise, that.
Ah Psychonauts, I never beat that stupid tightrope level.
Anyone played Rogue Legacy? I bought it the other day on Steam as it's on sale for about £2. Quite enjoying it so far.
Never got into it but probably should.
Played it a while ago. Never completed all the bosses, but the ancestors and their traits can be very fun. And confusing.
Same as patje, I never completed everything but I did enjoy my time with it very much.
Closing in on Nioh. Tracks everything except time spent which is probably for the best. If it winds up my game of the year, I'll wonder where the other 10 months have gone, though.
Eurgh
My copy of Horizon Dawn has yet to be dispatched, I was looking forward to playing it all day tomorrow whilst coughing up a lung
The Nemesis system has potential, but other than that Shadow of Mordor was a very average, boring game. So more of the same, but with expanded Nemesis system doesn't quite sound like the step forward to me.
Anybody want The Evil Within on PS4 for free? I'm never gonna touch it again and its worth fuck all trade in.
This is gameplay from an open-world game. I love living in the future.
Yeah watched some on Twitch last night, game looks good, if as ever bloated with on screen pop ups and shite.
Hopefully there are options for turning a lot of that stuff off, a la Witcher 3?
"We're sorry, but we cannot cancel your order as it has already been processed. Please contact the seller directly to cancel this order."
Can't even cancel to pre-order a digital one so I can play from midnight.
Amazon are probably going to end up delivering in the final hour of their delivery slots tomorrow
I enjoyed Batman's Creed: Mordor even aside from the Nemesis system. The combat suited me fine, the story was the sort of pointless fantasy bilge I'm happy to roll with. The one hook aside it wasn't even remotely groundbreaking but I enjoyed it. The Nemesis system wasn't just potential for me, though. It ran the game. That one orc who I just couldn't fucking finish off (eventually I managed to control him but there was a while when I was genuinely trying to finish him off and he kept escaping) did more for me than many written antagonists. Loved it. Can't wait to see what they're doing with it in this one.
